That gemlike story has long served as a key anecdotal exhibit in the defense of Pius for his public silence during the Nazi genocide. In his scathing new book, Hitler's Pope, British author John Cornwell repeats it--but not to Pius' benefit. The 40,000 figure, he reports, was impossible--twice the total of all Jews deported from Holland by that date. The likely number of deported Jewish-Catholic converts, Cornwell says, was "no more than 92." Though undeniably tragic, 92 deaths seem a thin reed on which to base a continent-wide policy of discretion in the face...
...Jerusalem is another man?s Al Quds. And if you think rival claims on the city are a nightmare for Israeli and Palestinian negotiators, spare a thought for the poor old Disney corporation. Disney is under pressure over the Jerusalem exhibit at its planned "Millennium Village" in Florida, designed to offer an interactive window, complete with crafts and indigenous entertainment, into 40 different cultures.

Some part of his brain was retaining a memory of an earlier practice session, a so-called implicit--rather than explicit, or consciously remembered--memory. People who suffer from Alzheimer's disease exhibit the same sort of behavior--and it's the medial temporal lobe that is first affected by this devastating disease...
...been able to turn normal human cells into cancerous cells before by using chemicals or X-rays. "But this has been a hit-or-miss proposition," says Gorman. "The new laboratory process will help scientists understand more clearly what are the genetic steps." This is important because cancer cells exhibit so many genetic changes that scientists are at present not sure which changes are cause and which are effect. The precise procedures used to create the laboratory cancer cells could help untwine the mysteries of the natural process. Don't expect a cure for cancer any time soon, though...
...achievement-oriented athletes. Every member of the team has a college degree or is pursuing one. Daughters of Title IX, they've never been told what they cannot do. They feel good about themselves. They feel free to make choices and to put their personalities--and other assets--on exhibit. "Hey, I ran my ass off for this body," said Chastain. "I'm proud...
